My father just sold his old Donkey Kong online for $75, and it was a little scratched. Old video games are worth $$$$.

Damn, I use to have all them for Atari and NES, but sold them for about $1 ea at a garage sale about 10 yrs ago.

Yeah me too, we should have held on to them, would have a small fortune on our hands now but of course that's hindsight. Esp. valuable as collector's items are unopened games in their original boxes, big bucks to the right people.

Yes, that's a quite obvious point -- it's called 'Supply and Demand' lol. Just as obviously I was referring to me and Steve, not everyone else -- or did the rest of y'all also have nice collections of Atari and NES that you should have held onto?
